Combining Lean, Six Sigma and the Theory of Constraints to Achieve Breakthrough Performance - A Business Novel
Used by the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps to dramatically improve some of the most complex, logistically vast supply chains in the world, the VELOCITY APPROACH draws on the strengths of all three disciplines to deliver breakthrough performance gains. In physics, speed with direction is velocity; in business, the application of VELOCITY means your organization can achieve operational speed with strategic direction to outmaneuver competitors, gain loyalty with customers, and rapidly build sustainable earnings growth -- in as little as one or two business quarters.
Dee Jacob and Suzan Bergland, two princi-pals of AGI, have been teaching the concepts, techniques, and tools of VELOCITY to major corporations, including Procter & Gamble, ITT, and Northrop Grumman, for years. Now they unlock the door for you to see how to apply their insights and methods to your organization -- be it business, not-for-profit, manufacturing, or service based -- in order to shorten lead times, slash inventories, reduce production variability, and increase sales.
Writer Jeff Cox returns with the vivid, realistic style that made The Goal so readable yet so edifying. Thrust into the presidency of the subsidiary company where she has managed sales and marketing, Amy Cieolara is mandated by her corporate superiors to implement Lean Six Sigma (LSS) in order to appease a key customer. Assigned to help her is LSS Master Black Belt Wayne Reese, installed as her operations manager. But as time goes on and corporate pressure mounts, Amy finds she has to start thinking for herself -- and learning from everyone around her -- and she arrives at the series of steps that form the core of the VELOCITY APPROACH.
VELOCITY offers keen insight into the human and organizational factors that so often derail growth while teaching you proven, practical techniques for restarting and revving up the internal engines of your company to reach new levels of success. Colorful characters, believable situations, and everything from dice games to AGI's "reality tree" techniques make this business novel a vital resource for everyone seeking to deliver business improvement in these challenging economic times -- and far into the future.

Duck Tape® Butterfly Hair Clip
Duct tape has endless possibilities, especially when it's Duck Tape®, available in lots of vibrant colors.
Material List
- Duck Tape®, colors of choice to include black
- Hair Barrette
- Cutting Board
- Sharpie® Markers
- Floral Wire
- X-Acto® Knife
- Scissors
- Wire Cutters
- Pliers
- Ruler
Project Instructions
Step: 1
Open barrette on cutting board.
Step: 2
Cut two 11-inch long pieces of floral wire, bend them in half and feed them through the barrette. The barrette will serve as the butterfly's body and the floral wire is the frame of the wings.
Step: 3
After feeding the wire through the barrette, make two U shapes on either side of the body; bend these into wing shapes and use small pieces of black tape to tape them to the body.
Step: 4
Choose the main tape color for the wings and tear strips of tape long enough to cover one wing at a time. Lay the strips of tape parallel with the butterfly's body. Without trimming, gently turn the butterfly over so it is on its back and tape the back of the wing. Repeat on other wing.
Step: 5
Use scissors to carefully cut away the excess tape around the wings. Don't cut too close to the wire wing frame; leave a few millimeters of tape between your scissors and the wire. Repeat.
Step: 6
Lay out a strip of your main color on the cutting board and cut it into 4 long skinny strips. Trim the ends. Flip the butterfly over so its back is facing up. Stick the strips of tape to the underside of the body so they cover the gap between the wings and body. Be careful not to tape over anything that will stop the barrette from closing.
Step: 7
Use different colors of tape to decorate the tops and bottoms of the wings.
Step: 8
Cut a strip of black tape long and wide enough to just cover the barrette that is the butterfly's body. Stick the tape to the barrette.
Step: 9
Cut two 1½-inch pieces of wire, wrap them in black tape and tape them to the butterfly head for antennae.
Use photo as a guide and follow manufacturer's instructions for all products used.

Borrowing the phrase from Immanuel Kant, but using it in a non-Kantian sense, "conditions of possibility of scholarship" is used here to mean the principles that undergird scholarship. It is those general rules without which either our infrastructure will not function or it will produce something different from scholarship. By way of explanation, let us have a look at a successful example of transposition of a traditional activity into a digital environment: eBay. eBay is a digital infrastructure for selling and buying. It was made possible because its inventors could identify and reproduce in a digital environment all of the key requirements for a successful business relationship, that is trust—trust in payment and in merchandise delivery. Once successful in ensuring trust, additional features could be added, such as price comparisons, email reminders and advanced searching. Without the trust rating system, though, all of the additional features would have been useless because people would probably not have used eBay at all. Research infrastructures in the humanities have in many cases been driven more by capacity than by exigency, with each advance in technology inspiring a new set of aspirations and plans and producing new sophisticated features. Before adding additional features, though, we have to ensure that the key requirements for scholarship are fulfilled. In other words, we have to start by identifying the conditions necessary for conducting scholarship, and only then will we have the basis upon which to develop and evaluate digital infrastructures for the humanities. Three of these requirements—Quoting, Consensus and Dissemination/Preservation—will be discussed here.
Quoting is the first requirement for the activity we call scholarship. Scholarship is a conversation based on hypothesis, arguments and facts. We should remember that facts, in the humanities, are often contained in documents, in texts. Emma Bovary drinks arsenic and dies. That is afact. What exactly this fact means might be a matter of interpretation and dispute, but that she "drinks arsenic" is indeed a fact. But to be sure of this, you must be able to consult and quote the first edition of Flaubert's Madame Bovary. Quoting requires stability of bibliographic references and, most of all, stability of texts. Printed texts can normally ensure both of these. But what about on the Web? On the Web, this type of quoting can be quite difficult. Web pages change every day, appearing, disappearing, reappearing under other names and addresses. Nevertheless, it is certainly not impossible to create special systems, like little islands in the Web, to ensure the stability of electronic documents and web addresses. Technical solutions exist. From a technological point of view, the URL/DNS technologies are perfectly sufficient to ensure the stability of web addresses3 and a simple checksum system is able to verify that documents were not changed over the time. But the existence of technical solutions alone is not sufficient. To create an island in the Web where documents and their addresses are stable requires both the decision to install these technologies and a strong commitment not to alter them over the time. We already have the technical solutions, but we need coherent scientific policy decisions.4
Consensus is the second important requirement for scholarship. As with other social activities, to receive support and to be included in the common research enterprises, scholars must produce works recognized as interesting by their colleagues. But more than in other social activities, in scholarship this recognition is understood to be based on evidence and must be as fair and transparent as possible. In reality, of course, this is very difficult to realize. Peer review and other systems of fair evaluation are continuously contested. The Web holds a real possibility for change, a chance to organise consensus in a better way: easier, more transparent, more efficient. In this case the Web is an improvement over the traditional system, allowing for new possibilities: article ranking according to quotation, impact factor based on semantic tagging, number of citations or downloads of an article. And some journals, for example Nature, are already experimenting with new types of digital peer review. It is important to note that in this case as well, policy decisions, more than technology, will determine the success of these new systems.
The third condition for the possibility of scholarship is Preservation. Scholarship is essentially an historical activity and we must be certain that our electronic documents survive us. Stanford's LOCKSS ("Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe") project supposes that the best way to preserve an electronic document is not to keep a unique copy in a very safe place, but to let people make thousands of copies and to spread them all over the world. They are right; the thirty centuries of our cultural heritage confirm the premise of LOCKSS. We have lost only what we did not copy. Why did we lose almost all the work of Heraclitus, while we preserved almost all of Aristotle's work? Because Heraclitus had a DRMS (Digital Rights Management System) strategy: he stored the unique copy of his work in a safe place (the temple at Ephesus) and people could not copy it. As a result, his work was lost and only the quotations made by other authors still survive. Aristotle, on the contrary, was a copyleft guy: allowing his students to copy his works whenever they wanted. Copy after copy of Aristotle's works have been passed down to us. The worst enemies of preservation are copyright, DRMS, and all of the technical means that now prevent copying. The true friends of preservation are free sharing and the copyleft movement.
I am wondering if we should add a fourth condition of possibility: Dissemination. Dissemination seems to be a fourth requirement because it is hard to imagine modern science or scholarship without public diffusion of its results. Modern science is a public conversation based on evidence in which both primary sources and research results must be easily accessible to all. On the one hand, it is impossible to provide arguments or proofs based on documents which are not accessible; on the other, to be taken in account, research results have to be published. Yet as we agreed that dissemination through copy is the best—and ultimately the only—way to achieve preservation, then dissemination is not a fourth condition of possibility, but a different name for the third one. Preservation and dissemination are indeed the same thing—two faces of the same coin—and the third condition of possibility is twofold: Dissemination/Preservation. In this case, we have to conclude that the electronic medium—the Web in particular—is the best medium for both dissemination and for preservation, if we agree that digital preservation is best achieved through copying. This means that to maximize preservation and dissemination, we should remove all legal obstacles that so often obstruct access to sources and the diffusion of research results. In the long run, open access is not an option for digital scholarship: it is a requirement. And this is yet another problem of policy, not of technology.

The Making of Pulveriserposted by Mattias Häggström Gerdt 2012-04-30 at 14:18
With Rack Extensions around the corner – and the open Reason rack that comes with this – we thought we'd give you an inside look at how designing and creating a rack device can actually work. This will give you a unique behind the scenes look at how we work and if you're an aspiring Rack Extension developer, maybe it can also help you in designing your own devices!
In Reason 6 we introduced Pulveriser, The Echo and Alligator—three creative effect devices we're very proud of. These were actually an early form of Rack Extensions so it feels very fitting to talk about these too- So, with a little help from product manager Mats Karlöf, let's take a look!
Many devices begin their life as an idea or a sound in someone's head. In our case, that someone is Mats Karlöf. Not only a product manager but a gear collector and geek extraordinaire, Mats knows a thing or two about both music technology and fun.
Pulveriser was first designed as a set of "requirements" and features. The requirements are basically characteristics that the device needed to have to be a good product. These can many times be the same between projects and in Pulveriser's case, were defined like this:
• Easy to understand
• Possibility to experiment (geek factor)
• Terrific sound quality
• Quick results
• Not too time consuming to create
Mats also listed some key features to get a good overview of the device, not only for himself but so the rest of the team can get a bird's-eye view.
• A heavy-hitting sound mangler, add personality to clinically clean sound
• Hard compression and amazing distortion with a filter to shape it all
• Envelope follower and LFO to control the filter frequency
• Few, but great patches
- The problem with today's music making to me is that everything sounds TOO good, explains Mats.
- Amazing audio interfaces, brilliant algorithms, it's all too clinically clean. We lost the dirt, which I think is the reason people still sample old records. Pulveriser was to be the solution to this problem. It brings back the dirt.
Together with this feature list a device mockup is made, basically a visual representation of the rack device complete with all controls and connections. These are most often made in OmniGraffle and actually use a pre-made set of device "parts" so it's easy to get the idea across.
– It's like a sort of prototype where you can easily "fake" how something will work and even imagine how it sounds, says Mats when asked why you would make it as an image first.
– It also makes it easier to run the design by my colleagues, for example Mattias or Stoffe. In one way it's also a kind of checklist, you can see if there's something missing when you see it as a device. You gain insight into the relationship between various functions and features.
We've actually uploaded the mockup so you can take a look at it:
While most devices go through tons of iterations to get the feature-set right ("Do we really need this?" "What about adding this?"), the Pulveriser ended up almost exactly the same in its final form as in the mockup!
– The only real additions after my first design was the LFO to master level, the envelope to LFO and the LFO stereo "spread". We also decided to add some cool CV stuff, something that's often added last, says Mats.
Once this was all set, the mockup was delivered to Pelle so he can make the actual DSP code. At this stage there's always a lot of discussion about how things should actually sound too.
- I actually took a trip to a stomp box shop called "These go to 11" and sat down for 2-3 days and tried their entire catalogue of distortion pedals, explains Mats with a laugh.
- Everything from the Tube Screamer to one-of-a-kind boutique pedals. I tried pretty much every single one of them on both a guitar, a Roland SH-101 and a Roland TR-808 to find something that sounds cool on many different things. There was one I thought really shined and I ended up buying that and giving it to Pelle for inspiration for the distortion.
At the same time, work started on the GUI. Since the rotaries and buttons are decided and the layout is there, Andreas Karperyd can start working on the design.
- Andreas and I sat down to discuss the graphical design, as we always do. We talk more in terms of feelings and "mood boards" actually, what feelings does this device stir up? After talking about it, I asked Andreas to make it look really old, like an old radio field unit from the 1940s.
Mats continues:
- An old, worn out device with a soul – that's the character it had to me. The change in the name from "Pulverizer" to "Pulveriser" was because when the graphic design fell into place it become apparent that it was of course British!
Finally when everything's in place, the final acceptance testing of the device begins. This starts internally but eventually branches out to include alpha testers and eventually the public beta.
- This is where I discovered that we needed a lag processor because of the clicks caused by changing the LFO rate when it was locked to tempo, explains Mats.
- So it's a result of actually trying the device and hearing it in action. This is also where we had to experiment with the internal levels to make sure the envelope follower reacted properly. Speaking of the envelope follower, one change also came from our Test Pilots! Our beloved alpha testers said that it's too bad we didn't have a CV output for the envelope follower. I agreed and decided to add it last minute! It really made the device better, a second pair of eyes can really help.
- Another thing is that initially we were supposed to have a switch for the compressor release time. To get two good values we could use Pelle added a rotary so I could find them myself. This rotary worked so well that we actually kept it!
So there you have it! A bit of information about how everyone's favorite sound mangler was actually created. We still have The Echo and Alligator to cover so watch this space for the next behind the scenes look and make sure you leave a comment if you have any questions—we'll answer what we can!

Great article! Thank you! Can you give us some examples of how the code API works? That is, can you provide some pseudo code examples of calls to the API so we can see the types of methods provided by the API? Thank you.

how do you go from "this stompbox sounds great!" to "we need these 1 and 0 ' s in code to make it" ?
Comment posted by: MattiasHG - 2012-04-30 17:23
KCarille: We can't go in to that much detail I'm afraid! If you have a company you can apply for the SDK though: http://www.propellerheads.se/news/rackextensions/
mtbh: That's a science in itself, and also why Pelle's such a great programmer, but you can read more about DSP here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signal_processing
Basically Pelle knows so much about this that he can go from "This is the sound" to writing the code! ;)

Cool stuff thanks Mattias!!
Question: Was the compressor section loosely modeled after any classic compressor ?
Also what kind of distortion pedal was the dirt modeled after ? Was it a tube type ?
Comment posted by: MattiasHG - 2012-04-30 18:16
xqtion: As far as I know the compressor was made to match Mats description and audio examples he had collected of how he wanted it to sound. May be wrong though!
The distortion pedal is not a tube type itself but it's simulating tube type distortion, like many, many pedals. ;)

My favorite article so far, I'd love to see articles for as many devices as possible. Thanks!

Echo is really the only one I use out of these new Rack Extension devices. But I do use that one quite a bit, actually.
I hope more for some device that lets me quantize my external synths, such as my Moog Voyager and Nord Lead 2. The Moog especially has "something" that my Reason synths will never have. Guess it's that analog goodness :)

Service Learning
In your final year as a PT student, you'll choose between a local, national and international service learning opportunity in which you'll be fully immersed in a community for approximately two weeks. You'll take an active role in providing health-related services to underserved populations. Participation in one of the offered trips is mandatory for all third-year DPT students and elective for all second-year PTA students. Recent service learning experiences include:
The Twin Cities: In conjunction with several local agencies, students engage in activities examining the challenges faced by the homeless population here in the Twin Cities metro area. Students immerse themselves in what it means to be homeless and the policies influencing change. Issues of poverty and health disparities are explored through experiential learning and interacting with those who have been homeless. This local immersion experience illuminates for students what many would describe as third-world health care conditions existing in our own neighborhoods.
Clarksdale, Mississippi: In collaboration with the elder leaders of the Immaculate Conception Church and Sister Manette Durand, CSJ, students engage in service learning activities within an underserved community. The setting is an ideal one in which to explore how environmental factors such as poor housing, unsafe neighborhoods, lack of healthcare services, poverty and crime impact a person's health and well-being. Students and faculty provide a range of services that enable students to identify sustainable options to empower the community and develop personal and professional action plans for social justice.
Santiago, Dominican Republic: In partnership with the Institute for Latin American Concerns (ILAC) in Santiago, Dominican Republic, students and faculty have an opportunity to engage in service-learning activities. They examine issues such as health disparities, marginalization, poverty, and environmental conditions that limit healthful living. Students interact with Dominican physical therapy students and professionals as well as community health workers from various programs.
Bringing home what you learn
This service learning immersion experience culminates in presentations by each of the three groups to all faculty and students. You will be asked to reflect on your role as a health care provider and consider, in the context of Catholic Social Teaching, options for incorporating social justice issues into your professional life. Lastly, you will create a personal action plan for civic and community engagement in your communities back home.

We just got a video series that I am SO excited about I can't wait another minute to share it with you. Please allow me to introduce Reading Rockets: Launching Young Readers.
Each 30 minute episode of this series designed just for parents and caregivers like you is bursting with useful and accessible information about early literacy and childhood development. Although they're incredibly informative, the shows are far from boring — guest hosts like Jaime Lee Curtis, LeVar Burton (you remember Reading Rainbow, right?), and Mr. Rogers keep it entertaining, and tips you can take home and use with your kids right away provide instant gratification.
I can't really express how much I love this series. It does such a great job of explaining just how crucial reading, rhyming, and early literacy based activities are to a child's development and school readiness without being overwhelming or overly technical.
The following clip is a great example. Did you know that pontential reading difficulties can be discovered literally days after a child is born? Check out the video to learn more:
Research has shown the earlier we can intervene with children who are having a hard time learning to read, the more effective the interverntion is. Approximately 90-95% of poor readers can reach average reading skills with early intervention. But, when intervention is delayed until 9 years of age, 75% of those children will still have reading problems in 12th grade. Can you imagine what an amazing head start a child would have if pontential reading disorders were discovered this early?
And I love that nursery rhymes are specifically mentioned. Phonological awareness, or the ability to hear and play with the smaller parts of words, is an essential skill for decoding the written word. Kids who have a hard time rhyming in Kindergarten tend to have much more difficulty learning to read than those who are proficient rhymers. So when you recite nursery rhymes to your sleepy newborn or sing The Itsy Bitsy Spider with your active toddler, you're helping to build a skill that will be crucial to her future reading success!
Check out the videos and if you love them as much as I do, spend some time on the Launching Young Readers website. It provides complete overviews of each episode, as well as tons of tips and additional resources. I feel like I need to write these guys a thank you card.

May 10, 2012
London – J.P. Morgan has today announced the appointment of Stefan Behr as head of the Global Corporate Bank (GCB) for Germany and Austria, and Mike Elliff as head of the GCB in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Replace it with a good one.
I replaced the Moen shower cartridge because I had a slow leak coming out of the spout in the bathtub. The replacement went fine but I still have dripping water coming out of the spout. Any suggestions?
Replace it with a good one.
Do you mean replace the new Moen cartridge that was put in yesterday with another new cartridge?
Basically, if you put in a new cartridge and it leaks, then it is bad and you need another one.
But try this....remove the handle, and just with the blunt end of a screwdriver, push the cartridge all the way in. If the drip stops, it tells you there is a missing washer, or some other little thing, wrong with the handle attachment which stops it from going all the way off.
But otherwise, just get another new cart. Make sure it is genuine Moen brand.
did you put the washer thats on the bottom of this picture on first
Everything that keeps the faucet from dripping is in the cartridge so if it still leaks you did something wrong or need a good stem.

Debuting in the Silver Age of Comic Books, Galactus has appeared in over four decades of Marvel continuity, also starring in a one-shot publication Super-Villain Classics: Galactus the Origin #1 (May 1983), and the limited series Galactus the Devourer (Sept. 1999 – March 2000). The character has been featured in other Marvel-endorsed products and merchandise such as arcade and video games, animated television series, action figures, trading cards, and a film, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.
In 2009, Galactus was ranked as number five on the pop culture site IGN.com's list of 100 top comic-book antagonists.
In case you're wondering, he stands 43 inches tall, 2 feet wide at the antenna, and 1 foot deep!

What are high-risk supplements?
OPSS Answer
High-risk dietary supplements are those that may present serious health risks. Many have been found to contain undeclared drug ingredients (and possibly synthetic steroids) and multiple ingredients with stimulants, which can have negative and dangerous side effects. Products most commonly "tainted" in this way are those marketed for bodybuilding, performance enhancement, weight loss, sexual enhancement, and diabetes. Such products may also result in a positive drug test. For more information, read the FDA News Release "Tainted products marketed as dietary supplements potentially dangerous." For more information about urinalysis and drug testing, read HPRC's Dietary supplements and drug testing.

Redskins post season thread
Talk about the Washington Redskins here. Do you bleed burgundy and gold?
Re: Mad But Glad
The Hogster wrote:I'm as angry, frustrated, disappointed as the next guy. But, hindsight is 20/20 and usually for losers. Nobody second guesses play calls, coaching decisions and the like in a win.
The way the team lost this game is gut wrenching--having dominated early for a 14 point lead, only to have an injury de-rail the win. But, the only man thing to do now is to reflect on the season and ask yourself if you would have been pleased with this result if you were told at the beginning of the year.
This team was dead last in the NFC East two years running. We went into this year with supposedly the worst offensive line in the NFL. An unproven rookie QB who we'd "mortgaged the future on." And, a rotation of running backs lead by Evan Royster after losing "the guy" Hightower to a knee injury last year.
This team won the NFC East.
Swept Dallas in two National TV games.
Lead the NFL in Rushing.
Had a Top 5 Offense that confused teams all year.
And, showcased a platoon of rookie draft picks who proved that they are not only good players, but capable of playing at a Pro Bowl level.
We went from having no QB to 2.
Found a Pro Bowl Running Back with a pick received from McNabb's trade.
And saw rookies Richard Crawford, Josh Leribus, Kirk Cousins, Alfred Morris, and RGIII each play a lead role in winning games for us.
This team hosted a home playoff game, and gave Redskins Nation reason to be excited again.
The greatness of this season lies in the fact that we did it with mainly rookies and young players. The future is bright, and with more pieces to this puzzle, the Washington Redskins will be a dominant force for years to come.
Did I mention that this team went 5-1 in it's division after being robbed for $36M in salary cap space??
Only 1 team in the league is happy at the end of the year. And, although it won't be us this year, we are closer to winning it all than we were 8 months ago. HAIL TO THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS. With an offseason of rest, free agency, and another draft class, this team will be poised to dominate for many years.
Therefore, I'm Mad, but I'm Glad. And, you should be too.
Well said.

Chris Luva Luva wrote:I agree with everything, I'm just worried that decisions made yesterday may impact our effectiveness next season.
I'm with you, but at the same time if one man is winning our games we don't deserve him.
At first, yes it was him alone, but then he inspired the team. The team grew together as one; something we haven't seen in DC for about 20yrs.
The more I watch highlight reels of Cousins, the more comfortable I get. He needs some work on knowing when not to throw the ball (interceptions), but we can make him even more capable with another strong WR and another running threat in the backfield with Morris. This way you can work up new confusing plays with having two running threats in the back field again. Say like a read option hand off to a power runner how also serves as an emergency blocker for Cousins.
This of course after we build a strong defense which is well within our grasp for next year (healed players, FA signings, draft steals).
I think we could be just as much of a winning team next year, but it might not look at explosive. Nothing wrong with that as long as we're holding the ball more and moving it down field.
In other words a slower, clock hogging, but very effective offense.
I think we're going to be just fine. If we didn't have Cousins, I'd be on the verge of devastation. Grateful for Shanny's foresight, now just get better at evaluating your players.

My Season In The Review Mirror
i just wanted to put my stamp on the overall season to this point by saying thanks to the players for giving us that good ole feeling and a future that is very promising.At the start of the year i was beginning to wonder here we go again with all these close losses starting at 3-6..We were in evey game but the steelers where the dropped passes made it look like ole boy but something transpired during the bye week.the coaches prior to the bye week especially shannahan was giving up i was like what are you really trying to say but he said what i and everybody else thought he said i,m giving up.I guess that was the fire that started the 7 game win streak. They had a playoff game for 7 straight weeks and played great starting with the eagles then dallas on turkey day and everyone showed leadership and the coaches put RG3 in some different formations ,pistol,read option and they were off and running.So speaking of running thats what they did with alfred morris/rg3 with some of the passing game thrown in it.That snowball was rolling downhill from there picking up steam inspite of the injuries we found some chemistry and it looked great as a fan to see again.Then came the dallas cowboys again with alot more on the line and what do you know we did it again (swept the boyz ) and darn near went unbeaten in our division and won the nfc east division on top of that to earn a playoff spot playing at home. i know the injuries especially to rg3 is disheartening and scary but glad and hope he recovers and comes back even stronger and healthy.i don,t want to talk about the playoff game cause that game just gets me all worked up knowing how it all unfolded from us being up 14-0in the 1st quarter.the coaches well you might want to rethink alot of things moving forward in like keeping the pistol but do it as a game changer or change of pace and stay with what you did with the eagles/browns game with not as much of the read option. I hope you see that eveyone else will study this harder now so pick your times when to run it and dont wear it out or our QB out along with it afterall hes our future.So a big thanks to all involved and heres to a speedy recovery to our franchise QB and i hope everyone in the front office and coaches can continue to improve the team to do even more moving forward.so thanks to you all here on the hogs as well you all keep it real and its been real fun as well and i hope we can continue this just like our beloved football team.
Oh by the way i got my new griffin jersey yesterday.

Reviews for Creamy White Chili(285)
Sort By :
A huge favorite in our house! Just make sure you use good northern beans. I know that I've gotten some canned northern beans that are mushy to begin with. That doesn't make for a good chili.
This recipe is amazing! I used ground chicken and ground Italian sausage (about half and half), and followed the recipe exactly for everything else. Cooking the sausage and chicken together adds LOTS of flavor. It's turnout delicious twice now. I highly recommend!
This soup is good and easy to make. I did make a few changes--I used leftover chicken, 3 cans beans, a little extra water to simmer in, and I left out the cream because I didn't want it any thinner. I would use milk to thin if needed. It was yummy and easy.
This recipe tastes so good. I use garlic cloves instead of the powder, and skip cayenne. I already take cayenne caps each day. Loved it!
My husband and I loved it and I would make it again for us, but the kids did not care for it. Too many beans for their taste. I followed another reviewers suggestion to cook it in the crock-pot on low and stirred in the sour cream and cream about 30 minutes before serving.

http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=604852PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. -- The NHL's Board of Governors on Monday approved a radical realignment plan, eliminating the current two-conference, six-division setup in favor of a configuration that features four conferences based primarily on geography. Two conferences will have eight teams and the other two conferences will have seven teams.
The Board authorized Commissioner Gary Bettman to implement this proposal in Monday evening's vote, pending input from the National Hockey League Players' Association. The League's intention is for the four-conference set-up to be in place starting with the 2012-13 season.
The vote to approve realignment required a two-thirds majority of the League's 30 governors, and it passed on the first of two days of meetings here at The Inn at Spanish Bay.
The makeup of the yet-to-be-named four conferences is as follows:
* New Jersey, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New York Rangers, New York Islanders, Washington and Carolina
* Boston, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Buffalo, Florida and Tampa Bay
* Detroit, Columbus, Nashville, St. Louis, Chicago, Minnesota, Dallas and Winnipeg
* Los Angeles, Anaheim, Phoenix, San Jose, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Colorado
Realignment was necessary due to the fact that Winnipeg had to move out of the Eastern Conference after playing in the Southeast Division this season due to the late relocation of the franchise from Atlanta to the Manitoba capital.
I think this will help things out a bit overall. The West was really getting shafted with the amount of travelling it was having to do. This should help out quite a bit.

CHARLES TOWN - For more than 130 years, the hands of the Jefferson County courthouse clock have overlooked Charles Town, directing citizens as the minutes of the day ticked by. Recently, however, the city has lost track of time - or at least the clock has.
The delicate hands of the front face of the clock have been removed to be properly sized and handmade for replacement. Due to the age of the clock the hands must be carefully made and are coming from a professional company in Pennsylvania, said Dale Manuel, Jefferson County Commission president.
"Within the next two weeks, we expect for the hands to be replaced," Manuel said.
Article Photos
Journal photo by Michelle Horst
Missing hands will soon be replaced at the Jefferson County courthouse.
"The county is not neglecting the clock," he said, adding the county is taking special care to retain the historical elements of the courthouse and clock.
Jefferson County is spending $4,600 on the new hands alone, he said.
According to Jefferson County Historical Society documents, in 1869, post-Civil War descriptions of the damaged courthouse estimated $10,000 in repairs. It was during this reconstruction that the clock was added atop the courthouse.
The new courthouse was open for the November session of the court in 1872, and the actual cost of the restoration project totaled $18,500.
In 1872, the Virginia Free Press expressed that the elements of the restored courthouse would be something important to Charles Town and Jefferson County for years to come when it wrote:
"Altogether the new courthouse will, for generations to come, proclaim the emergency, enterprise and architectural skill and taste of Jefferson in 1872."

Abortion Clinic Plot Suspect Challenges Charges
Submitted: 03/30/2013
Enlarge Image
- The defense team for a man accused of planning a shooting rampage at an abortion clinic is hoping to get the charge dismissed on a legal technicality.
Ralph Lang of Marshfield drove to Madison in May 2010. He's accused of planning to kill abortion doctors at a Planned Parenthood clinic.
He was indicted last May with attempting to injure, intimidate and interfere with people participating in a federally funded program.
But his lawyers now say that since Planned Parenthood's federal funds can't be used to provide abortions, Lang can't be convicted of targeting someone who receives federal funds.

Dane County judge to hear Planned Parenthood lawsuit
Submitted: 04/24/2014
- A Dane County judge is set to hear arguments in a lawsuit challenging a 2012 law that sets out conditions for abortions.
The law requires a doctor to determine whether the woman's consent is voluntary and inform the woman of domestic abuse services if he or she suspects the woman is being coerced. The law also requires doctors to perform a physical exam before they can prescribe abortion-inducting drugs and be in the room when the drugs are given to the woman.
Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit in February 2013 arguing the law is unconstitutionally vague. The organization argues its unclear how doctors should determine voluntary consent and whether doctors need to be present when drugs are dispensed or administered.
Judge Richard Niess is set to hear arguments Thursday morning.

Board speeds up start of short-term loan program
Submitted: 04/24/2014
- The start of a new short-term loan program that wasn't slated to begin until July has been moved up in an effort to help businesses hurt by recent cutbacks at Oshkosh Corp.
The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, the state's chief jobs agency, voted this week to start the pilot program earlier. It will provide loans or loan guarantees of up to $250,000 to companies for projects or expenses that may not be eligible for traditional financing.
The board says it was starting the program earlier in light of news that Oshkosh was cutting 760 jobs from its defense division because of budget cuts being made by the U.S. Department of Defense.
The loan program this year will only target businesses in Oshkosh Corp.'s supply chain

Kids learn about hospital
Submitted: 04/23/2014
- Hospitals can sometimes scare kids and even many adults.
That's why one Northwoods hospital wants those kids to be comfortable with doctors if they ever need their help.
Merrill kindergarteners visited Ministry Good Samaritan Health Center on Wednesday.
The kids got to see an ambulance, physical therapy and x rays.
"We try to show them that you know what, the hospital isn't so scary. And we bring them through different areas that they may experience when they come in or they have a family member here. And a lot of times children, if they don't know, they're very afraid. A hospital can be very intimidating, says Jane Bentz, Director of Foundation and Community Outreach.

- Police believe a Marshfield man stole three cars in Illinois and brought them to Wisconsin.
He now faces four charges of stealing cars and taking them across state borders.
Police say Bradley Greene, 28, stole three cars in December 2013.

Those included a car hauler trailer, a flatbed trailer and trailer accessories.
Greene faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison on each count.
The charges against him are from an investigation by the Marshfield Police Department and Northern Illinois Auto Theft Task Force, according to a Department of Justice press release.
The prosecution of this case will be handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert A. Anderson.

Home sales on the rise in the Northwoods
Submitted: 04/23/2014
Play Video
- Home sales fell in the state of Wisconsin, but they're on the rise in the Northwoods.
Real Estate experts say home sales are up 5% in Oneida County. Home sales for the Northwoods are up 4%. Experts say right now it's a buyers market.
�If you're a seller right now you are probably going to be seeing some low ball offers,� says Ashlei Highfill, Century 21 Sales Associate. �We just encourage people to respond to any offer that they get not to just reject it or be offended but these days we are seeing a lot of buyers coming in and offering a lot less than what sellers are asking for.�
Experts say fewer homes are being foreclosed. This allows more families to make first time home purchases.
�It�s great to see that people are obviously getting back to work so they can afford to take that opportunity to put their family in their first home it's exciting for all of us,� says Highfill. �We're always happy to see somebody get that first house for their kids we're seeing some people that are making more money now so they're buying a move up house.�
Overall home sales in Wisconsin fell 11% compared to this time last year.

Proposed scenic byway takes step forward with planning meeting
Submitted: 04/23/2014
Play Video
- You can drive along plenty of scenic stretches of roads across Northern Wisconsin.
However, the state of Wisconsin only considers one stretch of highway in the Northwoods as an official scenic byway.
Leaders in a handful of counties want to change that by earning a distinction from Wisconsin's Scenic Byways program. They held a public planning meeting in Mole Lake Wednesday.
The proposed scenic highway, The Wolf River Nicolet Scenic Byway, is a more than 100 mile stretch of Highway 55. It stretches from Langlade, in Langlade County, north to the Michigan boarder.

Wandering bear visits Knoxville Zoo11:49 am | June 25, 2013
A wayward black bear decided to make an unscheduled stop at Knoxville Zoo in the middle of the night. Zoo rangers spotted the surprise visitor in neighboring Chilhowee Park before the bear was observed scaling the zoo's perimeter fence around 12 a.m. this morning.
Zoo staff quickly implemented safety protocols, including a quick accounting of the zoo's four resident black bears. Once it was confirmed that the interloper was indeed a wandering black bear from parts unknown, zoo rangers and staff immediately began a sweep of the zoo's property in an attempt to locate the bear.
Although multiple searches of the zoo's 53 acres have been made, no sign of the youngster has turned up. Knoxville Police Department dispatchers were notified of the bear sighting and veterinarians from the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine and TWRA wildlife officers were standing by to offer assistance if needed. When no indications were found that the wondering bear was still on zoo grounds, zoo officials opened the zoo as scheduled.
"Of course our first concern is to ensure the safety of our visitors and animals," said Lisa New, executive director of Knoxville Zoo. "We are also concerned about the welfare of our wandering bear.
New said the bear has hopefully made his way to a more rural area.
"Of course, our Black Bear Falls is one of the top habitats in the country, so maybe word has gotten out in the black bear community," she quipped.
Wandering black bears are not uncommon this time of year, according to Amy Flew, curator of mammals.
"This is when the younger bears are starting to seek out their own territory," she said. "Unfortunately, with the close proximity of our homes to their habitats, sometimes we may cross paths."
Knoxville Zoo said if the bear is located on zoo grounds, they will waive his admission fee.
Knoxville Zoo is Knoxville's largest year-round attraction. Located off exit 392A from Interstate 40, the zoo is open every day except Christmas Day. Knoxville Zoo is nationally accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and is committed to the highest standards in animal care and well-being, ethics, conservation and education. Currently, the zoo is open daily from 9:30 a.m. until 6 p.m.
Admission and ticket sales stop one-hour before the zoo closes. Next-day admission is free after 3 p.m. For more information, please call 865.637.5331 or visit www.knoxvillezoo.org.

harman kardon soundsticks
Not sure if this is the right forum or not but I have a set of sound sticks hooked up to an airport express for air tunes...I mainly use my iPhone and iPad to stream music, however I would like to also hook the sound sticks up to a desktop PC and be able to use them with it also...is there a special kind of splitter that would allow me to do this? I would assume I would need a three port female splitter but I'm having trouble finding what I am looking for...also assuming that this can be done would I lose any sound quality? Or enough to even notice?
|Nov 6, 2012, 12:22 PM
This might work for you - the Rolls MX44s. It accepts up to four 3.5mm inputs and has one 3.5mm output. Hook up your devices and the PC via 3.5mm stereo connectors, then plug the Sound Stick into the output. Rolls units are solid, cheap and get the job done.

The main facility is located at 9999 Bellaire Blvd., near the southeast corner of the intersection on Beltway 8 and Bellaire Blvd. in Houston.

Since the acquisition of FIB (former First International Bank) on September 30, 2011, besides the corporate office, there are 4 more branches in the Houston area, including the First Colony branch, Harwin branch, Spring branch, and Katy branch.
